Shoniqua Shandai Instagram – A few weeks ago, God pulled me from my living room onto the Apollo Music CafΓ© stage. I went from being terrified to perform three minutes in February to performing six times this year π₯π₯π₯π₯ππΏππΏππΏππΏππΏπ₯ And closing it out with my own creation that blended music, monologue, and artistic therapy.
I healed with this show. I grew with this show. I became more free. My faith expanded. This experience changed me, and Iβm forever grateful.
Thank you to @iamdwightjordan for sliding in my DMs and blessing me with the opportunity to open the @apollotheater Music CafΓ© series this year. What an honor itβs been. β₯οΈ
